Notes
You can use frozen or fresh blueberries. If using fresh blueberries, reduce simmer time by about 2 minutes and add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Fresh will not release as much liquid when cooking so you will want to thin it out a bit.
Make sure to keep the heat low to prevent the syrup from burning.
The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools. You can add 2-3 tablespoons of water to thin it out.
Storage: Allow the blueberry syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or mason jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It will thicken slightly as it chills, so simply stir it before serving or warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop if you'd like a thinner consistency.
